World: UN chief calls for efforts to stem corruption

N Secretary-General Antonio Guterres on Monday called for more efforts from member states to fight corruption.

Corruption is present in all countries, rich and poor, North and South, developed and developing, he told the Security Council.

People across the world continue to express outrage at the corruption of their leaders, and at how deeply corruption is embedded in societies. They are rightly calling for political establishments to operate with transparency and accountability, or make way for those who will, he said.
